Lucky. If that were me, my turbine wheel and housing would have gotten *** raped. Be sure to make some idle vids of the full bridge

Where you getting the one piece seals?

naw, the ends shouldn't fall out, the corner seal holds them in.

Nice dent in the rotor! That's one way to lower the compression ratio!

Click on the featured car at the top right of the screen, it will take to the gallery with a big burnout pic. That dent is pretty crazy, and why can't we have shops like Joule over here? I am going over there.

Damn, that looks familiar

As far as I've seen, that kind of "dent" is caused by intense heat and detonation. Maybe your tuner is going to cover that after all? heheh. Good luck, Alf.

Attached is a pic of one of my "souvenirs".
